24 vinyl pressings of Two Places At The Same Time are listed here, from 13 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, US, Australia, Barbados and more. One of them is Arista ARIST 334.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ARIST 334, ARIST 12334, AS 0494, AS0494) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ARIST 334 A//2 ▽E TO 11 1 A BILBO SMOOTHIE and ARIST 334 B//1 ▽E TO 11 2 INDEED. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
